VISA granted today! Super happy to say the least!

Have my interview tomorrow in the Mumbai Consulate, do I need to carry the scans (provided at the medicals) to the consulate for interview?

While booking my bio-metrics appointment two weeks ago I put my visa class as 'IR1' just now realized that its 'CR1' as per NVC communications, can't reschedule my bio-metrics now coz the next available date for Mumbai is on the 30th of June and my consular interview is on the 17th of June

What shall I do? Shall I just go to my appointment and explain it to the officer concerned or book a new appointment?

No worries just go. When they ask just say CR1.

Will you be 2 years married once you POE?

Thank you so much dwheels76!

No we'll be married just under a year when I get enter the US.

Was trying to book my biometrics appointment (mumbai consulate) but I'm not being taken to the confirmation page, anybody facing the same problem?

Nope they said we have to go back the next day at 5pm to collect report, unless it has an issue in which case they will directly send it to the consulate

Oh ok...thanks.

Do we need to submit the medicals at the time of interview or at the biometrics?

yup! We logged into the us.traveldocs page and booked our biometrics appointment and we called the mumbai rele clinic and booked our medical, they just needed to know what date and time our interview was scheduled. No one asked if we received our IL email.

Hey Kat, do they (Rele clinic) give you the report the same day?

For folks who have their interviews in Mumbai, any idea how long does it take for the passport to be 'ready for pick-up' from the Mumbai pick up location?

That's exciting!! When's your interview?

My Packet has just arrived at the U.S.Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand

They are 11 hours ahead of East Coast Time.

I obtained Proof Of Delivery pdf also.

many congratulations.....

i wish we both get a June interview... will catch you there at embassy

Thanks man! Hoping for a June interview and yes who knows we may be standing in the same line the same day!

Yes, the door is still open for that possibility. Keep calling NVC for updates.

Enjoy this moment. A Time to both look back and look ahead

Thanks for the encouragement. God bless!

CASE COMPLETE ON THE 3RD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will I get a June interview, what do you'll say folks?

Congrats!! Sooo happy for you!! Got my case complete on the 3rd of May, do you feel i'll be able to get a June interview?

My CEAC update now that my case in "in transit" to the embassy.

Today.....Both DS-261 and DS-260 now show "On File At Post"

This is a good question.

Waiting on a good answer

Are the docs sent in response to checklists given priority over the normal packages in the order for review?

Are the docs sent in response to checklists given priority over the normal packages in the order for review?

Anyone from india who got a police clearance certificate from the passport office? Just wanted to ask if we need to schedule an appointment before hand..or could we just walk in?

You need to schedule an appointment, you can do it online.

Hey guys any idea currently how long is NVC taking to review the AOS and IV packages?

Hey folks, my wife got an AOS checklist today

Please let me know if I need to respond as it looks like whatever they've asked from the principal applicant is either already provided or is not applicable.

It says that when I (principal applicant) responds to the NVC I should use the bar coded sheet which came with the letter they sent my wife (petitioner) today but I have already sent my IV package with the bar coded sheet i got when I paid the amount to the NVC. I guess this may be a false entry in the checklist.

Sent my IV package docs couple of weeks back, its scanned in to the system but hasn't been approved yet, do you guys have any idea about the current time duration NVC is taking to approve the AOS and IV packages?

How long is the police clearance certificate valid for? I've got a police clearance certificate from the UK and India which were issued on September last year.

Certified means, you'll have to get the relevant document attested by the concerned issuing authority.

You have to send the original copy of the PCC, you will still have one original copy with you which can be used to get into the consulate on the day of your interview.

Hey guys, any idea how long does the NVC take to log the AOS and IV package into their system?

That has been the trend so far, however case completes last week really encouraged me!

Sent 11th; Logged on the 18th - Case complete 28th

Sent 10th; Logged: (17th maybe?) - Case complete 27th

I am thinking we might get it on the 3rd or the 4th

Btw, is there an VJ anonymous thread anywhere; I am seriously addicted

How do you find out about when the AOS and IV package was logged into the system?

You'll get an email notification of your interview date the same day the interview is scheduled.

You should get on the phone with NVC and tell them how long you've been waiting, that's a pretty long time and given the technical issues they've had recently you might need someone to step in and free up the invoice for you.

Thanks BOS_LHR

Hey super amazing folks, does the NVC notify us the date of the interview at the 'case complete' stage or they notify us at a later date?
